Nintendo reveals new games at E3 2015

Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival, Star Fox Zero, and more

Posted on

Nintendo has made a number of announcements at E3 2015 this week, outlining their future game release plans and providing new details for other titles.

Fox, Falco, Peppy and Slippy are back in a new adventure with Star Fox Zero. Players pilot an Arwing in the traditional style of TV game play and, in a new twist, players can use the cockpit view on the GamePad to aim and shoot enemies using the gyro controls. Having two unique viewpoints offers distinct gaming advantages and frees up the TV for more cinematic moments in the title’s new all-range mode. Scheduled to launch during the 2015 holiday season, Star Fox Zero includes a new Walker transformation for the Arwing, a new Gyrowing vehicle and the return of the Landmaster Tank.

Animal Crossing amiibo figures and cards get their own party game in Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival. Players are challenged to collect the most Happy Points by the end of a dynamic board game. The board layout can remain the same, but the spaces and even the environment change, depending on which month players choose for their game. As in other Animal Crossing games, players can buy turnips and use strategy to decide when to sell them for big money. Scheduled to launch during the 2015 holiday season, Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival will launch as a bundle that includes the game, two amiibo figures and three amiibo cards.

In Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, up to four players can compete in tennis matches. With the addition of Jump Shots to hit high balls overhead, or Giant Mushrooms that when picked up make characters bigger, this Mario Tennis is reborn with features enabling players to aggressively go after higher balls. The game is scheduled to launch during the 2015 holiday season.

Amid an intergalactic war between aliens and human survivors, players fight for survival while exploring the massive expanses of an unknown planet in Xenoblade Chronicles X. Weaponized mechs called “Skells” let players access every location they see. Players also can customize a lethal skill set of combat and defensive skills, called Arts, to strengthen their strategies and defeat enemies efficiently. The game launches December 4, 2015.
